Looking forward to the game on Sunday. Should be a good test and conditioner for us going into the finals. Reckon Melbourne will be primed to knock off a finals bound team and WT should be primed to both knock off the cheats and keep the winning form.

Go WestsTigers.............................. (Do it for Lleyton).

Not surprised to see Bromwich in the side for Melbourne, he's been in hot form in NSW Cup.

I thought Atelea Vea may have got a nod too.

Tell you what, if Tigers want a great halfback, Pita Godinet, the Vulcans halfback in NSW Cup is a bloody good player.

Always backing up, quick off the mark, good kicking and passing game and works magnificently with his forwards.

some of the match-ups will be good indicators of how our form is:

McKinnon vs Slater
Lawrence vs Inglis
Marshall vs Finch
Lui vs Cronk
Farah vs Smith

the contest with our forwards should be great too.

On paper we should do well.

I think Slater will be too good for McKinnon. Lawrence and Inglis will be level pegging, Marshall and Finch will be close, Cronk will run rings around Lui and farah and Smith will be close.

I think the big issue for us in this game is the front row. If our props aim up, we'll get the points.

If Melbourne are allowed free reign in the middle, we'll struggle and panic.

no Gibbs could be an issue.....but IMO the storm won't turn up...if they could get up for any away game you think it would be Manly......Inglis and nielsen have the flu so they may struggle even more.....

Could be wrong but I see us smashing a team that is simply over their season....

Hope so. I hope we put more than few points on them if for no other reason than they cheated and have not in the slightest shown any remorse or mea culpa and go on like the injured, innocent party in the shemozzle they, Melbourne Storm club and some creative player agents and players created.

If we take it to them im sure they will fold, Not much fun getting belted for zero points. We play well at LO against them even when they are cheating and playing for points so if we hang in there even if and when they score some classy tries we should be able to grind a win out with our fitness and home crowd.

imo, paradoxically, the full house sign will work adversely for the tigers and fire up the storm. The atmosphere would be electric, and with the finals in sight a little spark is all that's needed to fire the storm

.

From the start of the year he's put on some more size and gotten stronger. I thought he looked weak in first grade back then but now he bends the line, looking forward to see what he can do next year.

In saying that the Tigers will win.

The players will have zero interest in wanting to win this game.
You guys will win by plenty.

We have the chance to consolidate 2nd spot on the ladder and make it our own headding into the final round. Huge crowd at home and playing a side the will just be going through the motions.

I heard Cam Smith somewhere through the week say the the storm boys have been just counting down the games for the last few weeks now. We play like we did in the first 60mins against parra and convert all our chances, the score could be anything.

Im turning off the phone, locking the doors and kicking the family out at 1.30. With the right result, you will hear me screaming all the way to sydney and i will be the drunkest man in wodonga come 5pm! C'arn the TIGERS!!!!
